At dusk on this day, Beihe walked out of a Dan room in Qipintang and came to the room where Zhou Xiangxiang was.

"Senior Brother Beihe is here. ”

After seeing Beihe, Zhou Xiangxiang had a faint smile and was extremely enthusiastic. In the past two years, Beihe has been extremely satisfied with his performance, so his attitude is naturally better than that of others.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'll return the Qing Dan liquid and the Tianshi pot. "North River Road.

"Just put it down. Zhou Xiangxiang nodded.

So Beihe put the Qingdan liquid in his hand and the Tianshi pot on the table in front of Zhou Xiangxiang. At this time, he did not leave immediately as usual, but looked at Zhou Xiangxiang and said, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, I want to take a leave of absence for a while." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Xiangxiang frowned, and Erlang's legs on the table were also lowered, and he looked at Beihe with a strange look. In the past two years, Beihe has not even arrived late and left early, let alone asked for leave, so this makes him very puzzled.

"Recently, I felt that the bottleneck of cultivation was loosening, so I wanted to try retreating. "Beihe has long had a rhetoric.

"Oh, is it!" Zhou Xiangxiang was a little surprised, and then he arrived: "How long will Senior Brother Beihe invite?" ”

"I'm not sure about this, after all, there is no time to determine when it comes to breaking through cultivation. Beihe shook his head.

"This ......" Zhou Xiangxiang showed a hint of hesitation, and then he still nodded, "Okay, Senior Brother Beihe will focus on breaking through cultivation, Qipintang is not short of people in the first place, you can come to me and report it yourself after the retreat." ”

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Zhou. Beihe bowed. With that, he withdrew.

As long as the Qi Condensation Stage cultivator does not take the initiative to show his cultivation, others will not be able to see it. Only when one's cultivation has reached the realm of transformation and one can explore one's divine sense, or if one has cultivated a certain technique that can detect the fluctuations of mana in others' bodies, can one see through other people's cultivation at a glance.

Beihe has been extremely low-key in the past two years, and in front of Zhou Xiangxiang, his identity has always been a low-level monk in the condensation period. Zhou Xiangxiang didn't doubt this, after all, he could work in this Qipin Hall for two years, except for low-level disciples, high-level disciples would not suffer this kind of hardship. For example, Xu You'an, who finally broke through to the triple level of the condensation period two months ago, couldn't wait to leave this Qipintang, and when he left, he was even more proud in front of Zhou Xiangxiang, and his tail was about to be raised to the sky.

So for Beihe saying that he was going to retreat to hit the bottleneck, Zhou Xiangxiang did not doubt it. It took two years before he began to impact the double condensation period, and this Beihe was also a person with dull qualifications.

......

Before dawn the next day, Beihe left the courtyard where he had lived for two years, carrying a package on his back and holding a three-foot iron rod.

He had to take advantage of the darkness to quietly leave this place to avoid being discovered by others.

Before that, he was already familiar with the route on the map, and it was imperative that he reach a mountain ten miles away and leave from that mountain.

In the darkness of the night, he unleashed the strength of the Qi Realm Martial Artist, galloping and jumping along the way, and the speed was extremely fast.

As soon as it was light, Beihe arrived at its destination, at the foot of a low mountain. And here, he has already entered the inaccessible mountains and forests, and there are no disciples of the Unjust Mountain who come to this kind of place on weekdays.

Beihe looked around, he took out a map of animal skins in his arms, confirmed the route, and continued to walk forward.

In addition to the routes, this animal skin map also has some textual annotations, and Beihe needs to pay attention to two places.

The first place is to pass through the phantom array here. In front of a lake, he would close his eyes and walk hundreds of steps in different directions at the pace described on the map. The second place is the trapped formation, where he has to circle around a giant tree in different directions for more than ten times.

The next Beihe will trek through mountains and rivers, and it will take three days to walk in the mountains and forests. During these three days, he came across a lake. He was hesitant to close his eyes and head towards the lake, but he complied. Unexpectedly, in his opinion, the situation that he would step into the lake did not happen, but there was a feeling of being down-to-earth, and finally when he opened his eyes, he successfully walked out of the phantom array, and there was no lake behind him. This scene made Beihe sigh in amazement.

Next, he passed a big tree hugged by more than ten people, and according to the annotations on the map, he continued to circle around the tree, until the last lap was completed, and a strange scene happened, his figure appeared hundreds of feet away from the big tree. It can be seen that he has also walked out of the predicament here.

At this point, he passed through the two formations laid by the sect one after another, and he was considered to have left the scope of the Injustice Mountain.

According to the markings on the map, after leaving Bugong Mountain, the closest to him was a national capital named Liang State. He had not only heard of it, but even visited it. Back then, the master Lu Hou once took the foolish junior brother to Liang Kingdom, and saw the doctor with the title of "Liu Banxian", and wanted to treat Mo Du for a natural stupid disease, but in the end, Liu Banxian was helpless.

The Liang State is adjacent to the Zhao State, and as long as you pass through the Zhao State, you can enter the territory of the Zhou State.

In other words, Beihe may have to travel for a long time in the future.

Sure enough, it took Beihe half a month to finally arrive at a city called Yanlin City in Liang State.

In Yanlin City, when he saw the lively streets and the crowds of people coming and going, Beihe actually felt like he had returned to his hometown after a long absence. It seems that more than two years in the Injustice Mountain are a long experience in another world for him. This made Beihe sigh in his heart, and his mood became very good.

In order to save time, he bought a horse with the silver taels left on his body that year, and quickly whipped the horse towards the Zhou Kingdom.

Along the way, the only thing that made Beihe hesitate was that he always had a feeling of being followed. This feeling has been present since he left the Ungong Mountain, and it has not dissipated until he came to Yanlin City in the Liang Kingdom.

During this period, under Beihe's suspicion, he deliberately resorted to some tricks to lure the snake out of the hole, wanting to see if someone was following him, but under his successive temptations, he found no trace of anyone, which made him shake his head and smile bitterly, maybe he was too cautious, so he hallucinated.

Riding his horse all the way, Beihe finally crossed the border of Zhao State and rushed to Zhou State after a month and a half, and came to the area of fire lava that he was familiar with.

Along the way, I met some bandits who were not long-sighted, but most of these people were ordinary people with greater strength, and they were leaders at the level of a leader, so they could be regarded as martial artists in the power realm, how could they be his opponents, so there was no danger along the way.

For more than a month, the horse he sat on was very tired, so when it was time to approach his destination, Beihe tied the horse to a stream in the mountains and forests to let it rest.

Walking alone in the area of the Huorong Fault, feeling the high temperature and dryness here, Beihe's heartbeat couldn't help but pound faster.

It took more than two months for him to finally return. Now, more than two years later, although he thinks that no one will find the cave in the low mountain, he is still a little nervous. He didn't want to spend so much energy and get back to the cave only to have his storage bag taken away.

So Beihe quickened his speed, and after half a day, he came to the foot of the low mountain. At this time, he could not suppress his excitement, and immediately rushed towards the mountainside, and finally came to the location of the mouth of the cave.

Looking at the dark cave, Beihe stopped in place for a while, but did not move.

He remembered the beast he had seen in this cave under the lava. Now he was almost certain that it was a spirit animal.

Spirit beasts, in fact, are similar to monks, they can breathe and breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, and then cultivate. Spirit beasts also have high and low cultivation, and even some spirit beasts are extremely terrifying, even high-level monks are extremely afraid.

And the spirit beast back then should have just appeared to breathe, and did not become hostile to him, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from here.

After such a long time, the spirit beast should be lurking under the magma, so he could just take out the storage bag.

With this in mind, Beihe took a deep breath and walked towards the cave.

The cave is more than 200 zhang long, and the dead leaves and volcanic stones he sprinkled on the stone steps are still there, but Beihe walks against the wall, so he does not make a sound of stepping on it.

Just a hundred feet forward, he saw a cluster of fire in front of him. Seeing this, he looked overjoyed, and it seemed that this place had not changed from more than two years ago.

Beihe was in a nervous mood and finally came to the stone room. When he arrived, he looked around by the light of the fire in the middle of the stone chamber, and found that there was no difference between this place and when he left. He swept his gaze quickly to a stone bed in the corner.

Then he saw a gray cloth wrapped around the edge of the stone bed.

Beihe's heart beat faster, he stepped forward quickly, took the package in his hand, and opened it immediately.

I saw that there was a black cloth bag, a white robe, a flat jade box, and tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in the package. Everything, as it is.

Seeing this, Beihe's breathing intensified, and his face could not hide his ecstasy.

"Click!"

Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the passage behind him.

Almost instantly, he could tell that it was the sound of a volcanic rock being trampled on.

"Who!"

I saw him turn around and look at the passage behind him, his gaze becoming as sharp as a knife.
